Love Binds Relationships
The Ego Breaks It
Love, a term that encompasses every human-made boundary. A serene emotion that builds upon understanding, compassion, and patience. A space that enables combined development. But it doesn’t compromise personal choices & comfort.
The recipe of love needs a lot of ingredients to have a lasting connection.
Tolerance is an important aspect of a relationship. It’s the cushion that prevents friction and resentment. Tolerance restrains impulses and encourages forgiveness. Forgiveness not only resolves trivial issues but also enables the partners to develop resilience for facing tougher challenges together.
But tolerance shouldn’t be mistaken for enduring physical, emotional, or psychological harassment. Forced endurance can make a relationship suffocating.
Love is often confused with ego. Ego is self-awareness. The feeling of considering yourself superior. Love encourages selfless submission. Ego sparks the desire for control. When the ego starts to come in, the relationship gets destroyed. A partner with ego focuses on self-protection and pride. They dismiss their partner’s thoughts and preferences, causing eventual indifference and drift.
Ego fosters toxicity and makes the relationship unbearable for both partners.
The ego makes people frequently change partners to find the perfect one. They try to alter their partner’s habits and behaviour to fit their own image of the “perfect” companion. Their stubbornness fails every relation, every bond they create. Their repeated attempts become exhausting.
Perfection is a phantasm
Love is all about
Embracing someone imperfect…
Strengthening a relationship requires acceptance of virtues and flaws alike.
Acceptance comes with compatibility, which is the art of balancing the unbalanced.
Compatibility is complementing
Not comparing
Young people often mistake infatuation for love. They sacrifice their invaluable lives for the sake of an unworthy relationship, which they assume to be love…
Think before forging a relationship, be conscious of the difference between love and infatuation. Look for compatibility and understanding. If not, move forward and find someone else. The person doesn’t have to be flawless. But they should have a willingness for mutual growth.
Love blossoms when you find a sweet spot between self-conceit and self-esteem.
The partners should inform their parents about their relationship. And their advice should be sought in any worrisome situation. Parental love is unconditional. No one can love you more than your family. Take their support. Never hurt them.
Nurturing a new bond never means to sever the foundational ones…
Learn to keep ego and infatuation at arm’s length. Let love come close to your heart.
